Theatre Wine appeared to be feeling the effects of a fall at Fairyhouse when beaten a long way at Clonmel last week and can definitely do better. Famous Day showed up for a long way on her hurdling debut at Naas earlier this month and is another who should make progress as should Just Janice, who looks certain to be suited by this longer trip. Miss Eyecatcher ran very well behind Toe The Line over the minimum at Leopardstown before a fair effort in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 where she was staying on over that 2m2f. She should get into the action though it's about time FREEWAY SPACE was winning and this looks a decent opportunity. David O'Brien's mare, a winning point-to-pointer, has been placed in her last three starts at around this trip and her recent second behind the well supported Champagne Classic at Thurles would probably be good enough.
